Yep, I get it if they get in their face and make contact but that's just being an egomaniac again.

Varsho, vladdy, dejong up for the ninth. That should be a quick 1,2,3 inning.

I've been watching Varsho's at bats for a while now and I hate everything about his approach, his set up, and his swing. Mechanics are poor, timing mechanisms are not helping him, and he seems really off-balance when he swings. He needs a real hitting coach in the worst way.

And speaking of swings I hate, there goes DeJong on strikes again.

Bichette needs to return ASAP. DeJong is complete junk.

Doubled up the Guardians on hits 10-5. Lose 4-3. Such a Bluejays thing to do.

Disaster of a series for the Blue Jays bats. A split against a bad team is a loss at this point. All the while Seattle is chewing up ground fast. Something needs to give soon.

Mitch White is worse considering what they gave up for him.

That’s true, a couple terrible deadlines in a row.

Yeah, this team and it's acquisitions are just 'safe'. Give up as little as possible for reclamation projects. Total opposite of AA who went for it. This front office would never trade 4 guys for Donaldson. They would never trade to get Reyes or trade Reyes to get Tulo.

Atkins and Shapiro suck ? And water is wet and the grass is green

Although they are the kings of UFA signings so maybe I shouldn’t be so harsh

So weird they are terrible at trading but great at UFA

With all the late inning and 1 run losses you gotta wonder what the results would be if they had 2021 Vlad. So many winnable games just a knock or two away. I even look at his AB in the 7th and wonder. The Jays rattled off 3 straight hits and were making a push. Vlad then drew a walk. Not a terrible result by any means but he also fouled back a hanger that he should've crushed. That's a situation where you want your big boys to come through so the pressure doesn't fall to the 5-6-7 guys. If Vlad splits the fielder's there I think the Jays are off to the races. They absolutely need more from him and if shows big time.

TBH. I would trade Vladdy in the off season. I don't think he is even going to be elite or even great. Get something for him while you can.

Though I don't trust Atkins in a trade.
